I used to run long orienteering events in the south of Sweden and in Denmark. None of them were ever longer than 25km as the birds fly. Comparing the effort those km was for me to the 160km this lady run, I must say I'm very very impressed.

For me it's not even the distance... it's the time. Running 100 miles doesn't sound impossible to me... running for 31 straight hours is what sounds impossible.

She did a lot of that time walking. That's an average speed of 3.2 mph, which is just a hair faster than a brisk walk.

Not to say that she didn't do something way beyond what most people have ever done. I once hiked 55 miles over five days in the mountains and that was enough.
